ABXER SNOlV, OF ROUND ROCK, ASSIGNOR OF ONEIIALF TO IV. D. HER- RICK, OFWILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS.

PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 321,319, dated June 30,1885.

Application filed April E), 1885.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Annnn Snow, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of Round Rock, in the county of \Villiainson and State ofTexas, have invented certain new and use fnl Improvements in Plows; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, which will enable others skilled in theart to which it appcrtains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification,and in W1llO1l Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved plow. Fig.2 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line m m in Fig. 1; andFig. 3 is a perspective view showing the parts scp arated or detachedfrom each other.

The same letters refer to the same parts in all the figures.

My invention has relation to detachable plowsharcs and. points; and itconsists in the improved construction and combination of parts of ashare, which may be easily attached and detached without the use oftools, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings hereto annexed, A dcsig natcs the mold-board, and B thelandside of a plow of ordinary construction. The moldboard is providednear its lower edge with a pair of horizontal slots, (J C, the innerends of which have enlarged openings D D, and the point of the landsidewhich projects for wardly, as at E, is provided with alaterallyextending lug or stud, F, the purpose of which will behereinafter more fully described.

The detachable plow-point which forms a part of my invention consists ofthe share G, which is provided on its upper side near the upper edgewith a pair of lugs or studs, HI-I, having heads I 1, adapted to enterthe enlarged (No model.)

openings D at the ends 0 of the slots formed in the mold-board, asherein described. The inner edgeof the share has a downwardlyprojectingpointed plate, K, provided with a perforation, L, which is adapted toengage the lug or stud F, to which reference has hereinbefore been made.

It will be seen that the point and share may he slipped oh by pushing itforward, and thereupon raising the lugs out of the slots, theperforation at the downwardly-projecting landside plate K slipping offits lug.

The share may he slipped upon the plow by reversing this operation; andit will be seen that while no tools are necessary to attach or detachthe share it will at the same time remain firmly in place when in use,the pressure upon it while plowing having a tendency to secure it stillmore. I

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure byvLetters Patent of the United States The combination, with the plow-bodyhaving slots formed with an enlargement at their forward ends near thelower edge of the moldboard, and having a laterally-projecting lug uponthe landside near the point, of a do tachable share and point havinginwardlyprojecting headed studs for engaging the slots in the moldboard,and having a perforated landside flange fitting upon the lug at the landside of the body, as and for the purpose shown and set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereuntoaffixed mysignaturein presence of two witnesses.

ABNER SNOW'.
